[The clinical relevance of the dynamics of ventricular changes in surgically treated hydrocephalus of children with myelomeningocele].
The normalisation of head circumference and ventricular dilatation are aims of the therapy of hydrocephalus. Sonographic follow-up after ventriculo-peritoneal shunt demonstrates a changed ventricular morphology and inform about clinical relevant questions in regard of effectivity and complications of the shunt. The different morphological development of liquor systems in spite of comparable premises is discussed on the base of 47 children with myelomeningoceles.
